Inventor Hymn ,3. @003 and DISPENSER Filed Jan. 16, 1943 H. B. GRACE May9,

Patented May 9, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

will become apparent to the reader of the following description.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the dispenser with the upper andlower portions thereof broken away.

Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1. p

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, itcan be seen that numeral 5 denotes a tubular shell having its lowerportion threaded to accommodate the internally threaded side wall of abottom 6 which at its central portion has a raised bearing member I.

The upper portion of the shell 5 is shouldered as at 8 and at itscentral portion has a thickened riser 9 exteriorly threaded toaccommodate an internally threaded cap I0.

The exteriorly threaded riser 9 has a central opening through which isdisposed a shaft II,

the shaft I I extending downwardly to the botwardly therefrom in aradial direction throughout the entire height of the shell 5 and theinner edge of this partition I I barely wipes the periphery of the shaftI I.

The shaft II carries a wing I5 which projects outwardly from the shaft II in a radial direction and barely wipes the interior side of the shell5.

A duct I 6 extends from the periphery of the shaft II just below theshoulder 8 inwardly and then upwardly to open through the upper end ofthe extension I3.

When the shell 5 is full of material such as toothpaste, shaving cream,etc., the wing member I5 is against or in very close proximity with thepartition I I. In order to dispense the contents of the tube 5, theshaft II is rotated in the direction of the arrows in Figure 2 with theresult, that the material I! is compressed and forced outwardly throughthe duct I6 for use.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specificterms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, sizeand materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A dispensing container comprising a rigid tube having a reduceddischarge neck at one end, a rotatable shaft extending into said tubethrough said neck and having an outer end projecting out of the neck, aradial partition in said tube extending from end to end thereof, aradial wing member on said shaft also extending from end to end of thetube, a right angled discharge duct extending inwardly from the outerend of the shaft and opening into the tube at the neck end thereof, arotor on the outer end of the shaft for manipulation to rotate the sameand seating on said neck to seal the neck around the shaft, and a capthreaded onto said neck against the outer end of the shaft to cover saidrotor and close the outer end of the duct.

HYMAN B. GRACE.
